The singing of L'Ensemble Clément Janequin, a French group of five male voices and an instrumentalist led by countertenor Dominique Visse, was described by critic Joseph McLellan as "sometimes sweet and smoothly blended, often raucous, frequently very funny and always virtuosic." That's the case with this CD of street-vendor cries set to music by Deransart, Servin, Ducol, and the group's namesame himself. "Janequin's busy, multicolored 'Les cris de Paris,'" writes McLellan, has the "overlapping voices of chimney sweepers and knife sharpeners, vendors hawking wine, pies, hot buns, mustard, herring, milk and other comestibles."
